Chook Chook

One of six plays selected for the Ellerslie Festival of One Act Plays
24 August to 2 September 2017
(Book for two shows to see all plays)

In a battery farm, Valmai, Chrissy, Georgia and Bron refer to their cages as ‘compartments’ and eat the same food day after day under the same continuous ‘sun’. This comedy confronts us with the life of a battery hen and forces us to consider the ethics of battery farming.
